Just quickly, (1) Where's the best place to buy some distilled water for flushing/mixing my coolant (2) What quantities do the stealers sell G12 coolant in and how much will I need to buy, considering I'll be mixing it 50/50 (correct?) -- Ie how much coolant to buy vs. how much mix the...

Hi, I've done an extensive search but can't find a definative answer yet. I have the problem where my water temp needle get's up to temp fine, but then after driving for a while it suddenly drops to about 70deg, stays there a while then climbs back up to 90deg. From my searches I've found...

Afternoon, My Coolant needs topping up and reading the manual it says that you can not mix Seat G12 coolant with another brand additive as can cause damage ! Is this correct or is it a case of Seat wanting you to buy their stuff ? Reason for asking is that i can walk to halfords to get...

Hey I had my engine management light/excess pollution light come on yesterday so went and got it scanned...turned out to be the coolant temp sensor. So went and got one today and now what has turned out to be a 5min job has totally f*cked me off! Basically upon refitting me being the clumsy...

Ive never really had to touch coolant system in any of my cars but is this normal?. I posted a question about coolant the other day because my light was flashing and bleeping and when i checked the level it was a fraction below the minimum so i added a drop to make it just above the min level...

Driving to work this morning and my temp light kept beeping and flashing constantly so I checked the level it was a fraction below the minimum so I pulled into proper job (nearest place) and bought some Holts Anti-Freeze & Summer Coolant Methanol Free only to find out the colours were...
